Who is “The dessert club”?
Exciting news! We are thrilled to announce a collaboration with The Dessert Club.
Wondering who’s behind it? Meet Sam! Many of you might remember his captivating creations from the stunning photos you’ve seen.
In 2020, Sam wowed everyone with his incredible pastry skills and rustic desserts at Red Wagon Bistro. His daily Instagram posts had people obsessed with his desserts. I was obsessed too. At the time, I didn’t know who was running the account. Then, one day, Sam asked me to collaborate through Instagram, and we worked together at his event, “Will Travel for Food,” which introduced his vegetarian Indian dishes and my vegan Japanese dishes in 2022. The event was special not only because of the food but also due to his unique collection of flight plates and cutlery. We served our dishes on his special plates to the guests.
Sam is multi-talented; he is a yoga teacher and was based in India before 2019. He has been traveling back and forth between India and Vancouver for 10 years after working for a good amount of time as a pastry chef in Vancouver.
This time, Sam is bringing his expertise to our event with innovative plant-based desserts, adapting his techniques to fit our sustainable and vegan ethos.
We will create a six-course tasting menu dinner, The dessert club by Sam Shem will create playful desserts and snacks. Mæst Food by Tomoko Tahara will create the main courses and other savory dishes.
Our Event Concept is “Be Kind to Earth”
Since April, we have been foraging and visiting farmers markets together to preserve short-season ingredients. Our event menu emphasizes sustainability by using local and foraged ingredients as much as possible and reducing waste to support local farmers, as well as reduce CO2.
